    The 1st one looks like a war or death medal - German

    The 2nd one appears Austrian

    The 3rd one is Swiss

    Nice lookers. Did he give them to you as gifts or to sell off?

    The third one looks like Bern, Switzerland.

    Update on the 1st one:

    Commemorates unveiling of that statue shown on reverse.

    The 2nd one might be a recognition medal for good horemanship.

    (1) Loosely translates as: "In remembrance of the monument of Frederick the Great on the 31st of May, 1851."
    It refers to this monument in Berlin.

    (2) Obverse: a younger portrait of Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria.
    Reverse: "for good breeding and rearing of horses"

    (3) Obverse: "Republic of Bern" and the city's arms crowned and wreathed in oak and olive.
    I've seen these before but can't remember who exactly these were from or for.. it is an award, PRAEM being short for "praemie"/prize or award.

    My wantlist & references
